City working on new expense policy Town Talk

Chad Lawhorn clawhorn@ljworld.com

P

er diem, I believe, is Latin for: “Money in my pocket.” If you are not familiar with how a per diem expense account works, you receive a set amount of money each day — usually for food and other incidentals — whether you incur those expenses or not. It looks like city of Lawrence employees may

soon get to experience the ins and outs of a per diem expense account.

City commissioners were set to discuss a new policy on city travel and expenses, including the use of per diem expense accounts, at their Tuesday meeting, but the item was removed from the agenda. No word yet on when it may be put on a

future agenda.

Although staff doesn’t make any mention of it in its memo, it probably is not a coincidence that the policy discussion is coming in the wake of former Mayor Jeremy Farmer being required to reimburse the city for some improper travel expenses Please see EXPENSE, page 2A

Commission considers creating janitorial staff

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

City commissioners are considering ending Lawrence’s contract with its custodial service and establishing its own in-house janitorial staff after a discussion Tuesday about the current contractor paying its workers low wages.

The issue was brought up Tuesday during talks about whether to renew the city’s contract with

Topeka-based ISS Facility Services. The contract expires at the end of March.

One of the City Commission’s options — and the most costly — was to terminate the agreement and perform janitorial services with internal staff. That option would cost the city about $450,000 more in its first year than what it currently pays annually for contracted employees.

Commissioners did not take a vote but asked city

employment, as opposed to farming out services where we have people working 22 hours per week for $8 an hour,” Commissioner Matthew Herbert said. “Private businesses can pay what they want, but as a city government I think we have an obligation to take the lead and say that workers who work inside of city government buildings earn a living wage.”

Efficiency consultants working on contract with the Kansas Legislature issued their final report Monday, urging lawmakers to take prompt action on their top priority recommendations, which include taking money from school districts’ cash reserves to help pay for future education funding, trimming state employee health care costs and allowing lottery ticket sales through vending machines.

But lawmakers now have to decide which of those recommendations can actually be done, and which ones will face stiff political opposition.

we will have to make, but we’ll be able to make them with data and make datainformed decisions.”

The full report by the firm Alvarez & Marsal includes 105 recommendations that span across almost every agency and function of state government and could save the state $2 billion over five years if the Legislature adopted all of them. But, the consultants said, 21 of their recommendations show potential for producing immediate cost savings or increased revenue within the next several months.

J.W. Rust, one of the principals with the firm, said that was based on what’s called the Pareto principle, also known as the 80-20 rule.

LAWRENCE • STATE

Expense CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

prior to his resignation from the commission.

The major change is that city employees no longer will be required to keep their receipts for food and meal expenses while traveling on city business. Instead of being reimbursed based on receipts, city employees who are traveling simply will be given a per day allowance for meals.

The allowance will vary depending on what city they are traveling to. The federal government’s Government Services Administration sets recommended per diem amounts for various cities across the country.

The city plans to use those amounts.

Doing a quick search on the GSA website, it appears a lot of cities in this region are about $64 a day, or at least that was the case for Kansas City, Omaha and Dallas, for example. In some other cities the amount increases. For example, it is $74 a day in New York, $74 a day in San Francisco and $69 a day in Washington, D.C. What do you think?

Could you figure out how to subsist on $64 a day in a place like K.C., Omaha or Dallas? Remember, it needs to cover taxes and tips too. The per diem is designed to cover three

Budget CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

On Monday, the Legislature’s budget conference committee agreed on a budget bill for the upcoming year.

Included is language stating that KU can’t spend more special revenue funds than the amount the university originally estimated when it submitted its budget proposal last fall.

Examples of such funds are tuition, campus fees, student housing and parking fees.

Additional spending — namely payments to fund the $350 million Central District redevelopment project, a deal finalized only recently and bankrolled by special revenue funds — would require “additional conversations” with the Legislature, Caboni said.

As for what format the required “conversations” and “oversight” will take if the governor ultimately approves the budget bill, Caboni said that’s still unclear. He said KU expects to continue to address lawmakers’ questions.

Caboni said no other KU project was unaccounted for in the earlier budget projections, so the Central District should be the only effort affected by new restrictions.

He said the language excludes grant funds, so KU would still be able to pursue research without legislative tethers, should it receive a large unexpected award. Also, he said, the KU Medical Center campus also is excluded.

KU is counting on a combination of revenue sources — none of which includes state dollars — to make the sublease payments required to finance the Central District redevelopment project, which includes constructing

meals per day. The per diem, however, is only for food. You don’t have to pay tolls, or parking or other such expenses out of the per diem. Given that, if you split your per diem equally per meal, you would need to spend about $21 per meal or less to stay within your allowance.

The city policy says the city won’t pay for alcohol as a city expense, but the per diem complicates that a little bit.

Bryan Kidney, the city’s finance director, told me employees would be able to purchase alcohol with their dinner, for example, and use the per diem money to pay for it. There are still policies in place that city employees are expected to not consume alcohol while conducting city business, but during those off hours of a convention, there’s no restriction in place on the per diem being used for a glass of wine or such.

“We’re not asking for receipts, so what they spend that per diem on is kind of up to them,” Kidney said.

Kidney said he’s recommending the per diem policy, in part, because his staff spends quite a bit of time tracking down receipts and reviewing them. He said he hasn’t done a detailed analysis of whether the policy would save or cost the city money, but he also noted that there is not a large amount of overnight travel that the city new integrated science buildings and other facilities in the portion of campus west of Naismith Drive.

KU’s average annual sublease payment to the KU Campus Development Corporation will be $21.8 million.

Here is a breakdown of the annual revenue streams KU plans to use for payments, according to Caboni: l $7.6 million from housing funds generated by occupants of the district’s new residential facilities. l $6.4 million from tuition dollars raised by projected enrollment growth of international and out-of-state students.

Caboni said enrollment growth projections are conservative. The lion’s share of new students are expected to come in through KU’s International Academic Accelerator Program, currently in its second academic year. l $6.1 million in funds reallocated from savings resulting from KU’s “Changing for Excellence” efficiency initiative. l $1 million in revenue from the district’s planned new parking facility. l $800,000 in student fees, allocated by the Student Senate to fund reconstruction of the Burge Union.

Restrictions were sparked by legislators’ anger at KU for forming a separate nonprofit corporation that issued $327 million in out-of-state bonds for the Central District project, a new-toKansas-higher-education funding model called a public-private partnership, or P-3, for short. An earlier Senate proposal would have effectively shut down the project.

L awrence J ournal -W orld does in a year. (The per diem would only be for overnight trips.) The city last year had 85 overnight travels, Kidney said.

As for other details in the proposed policy, they include: l The policy will apply to all city employees, city commissioners, and board members serving on city boards. l The city plans to produce a public report detailing the amount of overnight travel that occurs by city employees each month. The report will be published on the Finance Department’s website each month and will include the name, the department, the destination, purpose of the travel and the cost per category of each city-paid trip. l The new policy makes it clear that the use of ride-sharing services, such as Uber, are an acceptable expense. l The city would only pay for airline fees for coach travel and will pay an airline charge for only one bag. l Prohibited expenses include: fees for attendance at political rallies; nonemployee travel expenses; entertainment costs; expenses for nonpublic purposes such as clothing, sporting events, laundry services and travel outside of meeting dates; and alcoholic beverages.

Developer working with KU, city on other options

By Nikki Wentling Twitter: @nikkiwentling

Parking problems surrounding the HERE @ Kansas luxury apartment and retail development will not be discussed at this month’s LawrenceDouglas County Planning Commission meeting, and it’s unsure when the issue will be decided.

HERE LLC, the development group behind the under-construction HERE @ Kansas, is put-

ting off its proposal to the Planning Commission for a new parking garage in order to come up with alternatives, city planner Sandy Day said.

Deferred from the Planning Commission were items on rezoning the property at 1137 Indiana St. and deciding whether to approve the preliminary development plan for the 97-space parking garage that would go there.

LAWRENCE • STATE

.

Lawmakers petition for chairwoman’s reinstatement Topeka (ap) — More than 40 Republican legislators asked the Kansas Senate’s top leader Tuesday to reinstate the former chairwoman of the chamber’s health committee, while GOP lawmakers tried to dampen talk of a serious rift.

Seventeen of the Senate’s 32 Republicans signed a letter asking President Susan Wagle to reconsider her decision last week to remove fellow GOP Sen. Mary Pilcher-Cook, of Shawnee, as chairwoman

of the Senate Public Health and Welfare Committee.

The signers included Majority Leader Ter- Pilcher-Cook ry Bruce, of Nickerson — which signals a split among top Republicans that’s been evident in the Statehouse for months.

Twenty-six of the House’s 97 Republican members signed a sepa-

rate but identical letter, led by Rep. Brett Hildabrand, of Shawnee, whose district overlaps with Pilcher-Cook’s. That letter is notable because it is unusual for one chamber’s lawmakers to publicly intervene in the internal workings of the other.

Pilcher-Cook was removed as committee chairwoman Friday, days after Pilcher-Cook’s attempt to force a Senate debate on a proposal to expand the state’s Med-

icaid coverage for poor and needy residents as encouraged by the federal health care overhaul.

Both are critics of the federal law, but Wagle said the attempt was disrespectful to the chamber.

“Though we may not agree with every position she has taken on every issue, there is little doubt she is a person of conviction,” both letters said of Pilcher-Cook. “We respectfully ask you to reconsider your recent actions.”

BRIEFLY Committee considers “I believe there are many ing for the children in their families in Kansas that do as well as limit the foster care program not step up to help children care program to those active in Topeka — A Senate committee is considering legislation that would establish an experimental foster care program in Kansas open exclusively to adults in stable marriages of at least seven years and with a minimum of one stay-at-home spouse.

The Topeka CapitalJournal reports that the bill would grant foster parents in the statewide pilot program an exemption from standard licensing applicable to child care facilities.

“Eighty percent of the results can be achieved with 20 percent of the effort,” he said.

Some of those top 21 recommendations include: l Requiring public school districts that have excess cash carryover in their fund balances to spend down those balances to benchmark levels. Any money beyond the maximum would be deducted from future funding under the recommendation, providing about $40 million next fiscal year and $193 million over five years. l Filling vacant positions for collection agents in the Department of Revenue, estimated to generate $48 million in the next fiscal year, and $272.7 million over five years, which lawmakers have already included in a compromise budget bill to be voted on later this week. l Increase administra-

Custodial CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

Commissioners first heard about concerns with ISS’s wages in October.

Mike Pryor, a Lawrence resident and volunteer at Just Food, told the City Commission during a public comment period that ISS employees were using Just Food’s services to get by and that they were working sporadic, part-time hours.

“This town has the money to support hiring your own cleaners full time,” Pryor had said.

Derrick Mazurkewycz, with ISS, said Tuesday that his company hired one full-time employee to clean Lawrence’s public buildings and the remaining employees were part time. Employees earn anywhere from $8 to $12 per hour.

Mazurkewycz explained that the job is usually a second occupation for employees.

“It’s typically a part-time gig, a way to get some extra money,” Mazurkewycz said. “That’s what we’re geared toward.”

According to city documents, the annual cost to the city for custodial services through ISS, which its contracted with since 2012, is $129,470.

Mark Thiel, the city’s assistant public works director, presented Tuesday four options to commissioners. If commissioners

Sen. Marci Francisco, D-Lawrence, who serves on the Senate Ways and Means Committee, said she thinks the report offers valuable recommendations, but she questioned why the Legislature needed an outside consultant to tell them. The state paid Alvarez & Marsal $2.6 million to conduct the study.

“The idea that we can

save money just by having employees who are collecting that revenue for us and auditing processes at their jobs shouldn’t be something that we have to spend a lot of money paying somebody else to tell us,” she said.

Several of the recommendations would require changes in state law, and Ryckman said those topics have already been assigned to various committees and subcommittees to begin studying.

Among those is the proposal to move all school employees into a unified health benefits plan under the State Employee Health Plan. Currently benefits are among the items that districts are required to bargain collectively with local teacher unions.

“That’s obviously something that would take a series of years to be accomplished,” said Senate Ways and Means Committee Chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover.

But he said the proposal to shift all other state employees into the high

deductible plan may be easier to accomplish.

“I moved myself to that last year and found it to be beneficial to me financially,” he said. “I have a diabetic daughter, so I have yearly defined costs to cover our health care.”

The idea of allowing vending machine sales of lottery tickets has been debated many times in the past. And even though it’s allowed in many other states, social conservatives in the Kansas Legislature have raised concerns about children having access to lottery sales.

Ryckman said he doubts there is much more the Legislature can do with the report in the remaining months of this fiscal year to have an impact on the current budget.

“But it will give us some more flexibility, hopefully, in (fiscal year) 2017,” he said.

didn’t want to continue with the current contract, the city could terminate the contract with ISS; edit it to include wage requirements and other stipulations; and rebid it.

Another option was to pay more to ISS so the company could increase the wages it paid its employees. ISS said it would cost the city about $57,000 more annually if it required ISS to pay its employees a minimum wage of $13 per hour.

The last option, and the one commissioners most considered Tuesday, was terminating the contract and performing the janitorial duties with internal staff. According to estimates, the total first-year cost of that option would be $578,281. The estimate includes wages for five full-time employees plus a supervisor, as well as equipment, supplies and training.

City Manager Diane Stoddard told commissioners that the city currently employs “many, many” part-time employees — especially through the Parks and Recreation Department — at comparable wages to what ISS paid its employees. She warned against setting a precedent for wage level that the city couldn’t afford for all of its employees.

“We want you to be aware that if you look at increasing all the wages to a certain threshold,

there’s going to be a lot of cost for that,” Stoddard said. “We do want to point out this is not a budgeted item for 2016 or beyond, and it is a large cost, based on our estimates. I just want to make sure the commission realizes that’s going to be quite an additional cost for us to take on.”

Vice Mayor Leslie Soden said she appreciated the cost savings of contracting custodial services but that “it’s time to bring this back.”

“We have the responsibility to lead the way in this kind of thing,” she said.

In other business: l At Commissioner Stuart Boley’s request, the City Commission decided to schedule a study session about how the city uses its sales tax reserves fund. A date for the study session was not announced Tuesday. l Members of Justice Matters, a group of 22 faith organizations, showed up to advocate during the meeting’s public comment period for dedicated revenue streams for the city’s Affordable Housing Trust Fund. The Rev. Mary Newberg Gale, of First Presbyterian Church, said “now is the time” to talk about it, with 2017 budget discussions starting this spring. l Mayor Mike Amyx was not able to attend Tuesday’s meeting due to

illness. A decision to fund a plan to combat the anticipated infestation of the emerald ash borer was deferred, as was as a vote on new guidelines for reimbursing city employees for travel and other expenses.

Dates to take up those issues have not yet been set.

Scalia’s death spurs judicial selection debate in Legislature

By Peter Hancock Twitter: @LJWpqhancock

In the midst of a politically charged national debate over the selection of a new justice for the U.S. Supreme Court, a Kansas House committee on Tuesday began debating another plan to change the way state appellate court judges are selected.

On Saturday, Justice Antonin Scalia died unexpectedly, and his death immediately set off a partisan battle in Washington over whether the Republicancontrolled Senate should allow President Barack Obama to nominate his replacement.

While some people who spoke to the Kansas House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday said they feared any change in the current system in Kansas would only inject more politics in the process, similar to what’s being witnessed at the federal level, at least one member of the panel said he thought that might be a healthy thing for Kansas.

“I know at least from my constituents’ perspective, their line is something along the lines of, ‘Thank God we have the Senate to protect us from a liberal activist appointee,’” said Rep. Craig McPherson, ROverland Park.

The plan now being debated in the committee would completely rewrite Article 3 of the Kansas Constitution to include provisions for both the Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. The appeals court is currently only authorized under statute.

It would also use the merit-based selection process for both courts, repealing the change made a few years ago to have Court of Appeals judges appointed directly by the governor, subject to Senate confirmation.

But it would expand the nominating commission that screens those candidates from nine members to 15: four elected by Kansas attorneys; five appointed by the governor; and six appointed by legislative leaders from both parties.

The commission screens candidates and sends to the governor a list of three nominees from which to choose. If the governor refuses to choose from those nominees, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is required to choose one.

Currently, attorneys elect five of the nine members, giving them an automatic majority, which has been a point of contention for many conservatives who oppose

the current structure.

Mike O’Neal, a former Kansas House Speaker who is now president and CEO of the Kansas Chamber, testified in favor of the plan.

“I will tell you that before I took this job, while I was in the Legislature, I was frankly embarrassed by the fact that Kansas was the only state in the union, who had the nominating commission process, who had a majority vote on the part of the bar,” he said. “I never felt that was necessary.”

But Matthew Keenan of Leawood, a member of the current nominating commission, said the other states that use similar systems also have provisions that prevent either political party from having more than a one-seat majority on their panels, something he said is not included in the plan now being considered.

“And with all due respect, I think inevitably, the risk of at least perception of politics begins to creep into the process when you talk about political members having the opportunity to make appointments,” he said.

Keenan defended the current selection process, arguing that in 2014, the last time there was a vacancy on the court, the commission sent the governor three highly qualified nominees. He said Kansas should keep the current system because it has produced good results.

“I think that’s up for debate,” Rep. John Whitmer, R-Wichita, responded. “I can point to a 16-year decision to get a death penalty case wrong, if I wanted to.

It’s all relative.”

Whitmer was referring to the case of Jonathan and Reginald Carr, whose death sentences for a 2000 murder spree were vacated last year by the Supreme Court. That ruling has since been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court, in a decision written by Justice Scalia.

But Keenan said that when the commission interviewed candidates in 2014, some of them were openly critical of how long it had taken the Kansas Supreme Court at that time to rule on the case.

Rep. John Barker, RAbilene, did not indicate when the panel might take action on the measure.

He said one person who wanted to testify, Kansas University law professor Stephen Ware, was unable to attend Tuesday, but may offer testimony later in the week.

Gifts will support 18 Big Brothers Big Sisters mentorships

By Rochelle Valverde Twitter: @RochelleVerde

Recent donations to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Douglas County will help the organization support 18 additional mentorships in the area.

In December, two anonymous donors pledged to match a combined $95,000 to Kansas Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The goal to raise the funds by the end of the year was met, and the Lawrence community raised more than $9,000 of the total, according to BBBS of

Douglas County.

“That $9,000 is what we raised here locally, and $9,000 will be matched,” said Stacie Schroeder, BBBS of Douglas County area director. “So at the end of the year we brought in about $18,000 for our community, which is huge.”

BBBS provides one-on-one mentorships for at-risk youth ages 5 to 17. The program has community- and school-based mentorship programs. For the community-based program, the mentors and their “littles” do activities together after

school or on weekends. School mentors have lunch with their elementary or middle school student once per week or visit them during their after-school program.

The program also hosts several events annually, such as picnics or talent shows, that bring all participants together.

Schroeder said the $18,000 will be used for program expenses and helping to support additional mentorships.

“It’s approximately $1,000 per match — to make a match or maintain a match in our pro-

gram,” she said. “So with those funds that’s going to help us serve 18 children in the community.”

In December, the Douglas County BBBS had about 80 kids on its waiting list, and Schroeder said it has accepted about another 20 applicants since then that it also hopes to match as the annual mentor recruitment and fundraising campaign, Bowl for Kids’ Sake, begins this month.

Bowl for Kids’ Sake teams will compete over the next few months for the most volunteer

mentors recruited and most funds raised to support those mentorships.

Fundraising teams can be organized under individuals, families or organizations, and teams participate in bowling tournaments that begin next week. Teams can sign up to participate over the next few months on the Douglas County Brothers Big Sisters website, douglas.kansasbigs.org.

County to review towing contracts Program

By Elvyn Jones Twitter: @ElvynJ

Douglas County commissioners will conduct an annual review of the county’s contracts with tow truck providers at their meeting today.

Commissioners will be asked to set maximum fees tow providers can charge. They also will be asked to add a few amendments at the request of tow providers.

One recommendation

would change the definition of what constitutes personal property within vehicles impounded because their owners cannot pay a towing fee. The change will limit what property vehicle owners can retrieve to medical supplies and child safety equipment.

In other business, the commission will consider: l A request from the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office to purchase seven new vehicles for $311,165.

l A request from the sheriff’s office to purchase eight digital color car video systems for $44,810.

The commission meets at 4 p.m. Wednesdays at the Douglas County Courthouse, 1100 Massachusetts St. The full agenda can be found online at douglascountyks.org/ services/government/ public-meetings.

BRIEFLY Baldwin City Council rejects affordable housing project

refused to comment after the meeting.

The Baldwin City Council on Monday rejected a rezoning request that would have allowed construction of a duplex complex at the north end of the Firetree subdivision.

A successful rezoning from R-1 singlefamily homes to R-2 duplex zoning would have allowed developer North Star Housing L.L.C. to move forward with a proposal to build a complex of 29 two- and threebedroom units on the property.

Council members Steve Bauer, Christi Darnell and Kathy Gerstner voted to reject the rezoning, while Tony Brown and David Simmons voted to allow the rezoning.

Firetree residents who spoke against the rezoning said duplexes would adversely effect the property values of existing Firetree homes and be out of character with their single-family home neighborhood.

Baldwin City school board seeks input on community center plan The Baldwin City school board agreed Monday to hear from the public before deciding whether to donate land for a community center.

The Baldwin City Recreation Commission decided in November to make a push for a community center and addressed meetings of the Baldwin City Council and Baldwin City school board about its intentions. It was explained that the city would be asked to provide a funding source to build the facility with the help of a capital drive on land the school district would donate.

The board was generally in favor of donating land but agreed to invite the public to comment at its March 21 meeting before taking any actions.

The 0.28-acre property is the site of a 12-unit apartment building owned by a group led by Lawrence resident Ed Carter.

It’s located just south of the HERE @ Kansas site.

The parking garage was proposed after HERE learned in October the company creating a planned robotic parking garage had filed bankruptcy. Its new plan leaves the project with 69 fewer spaces than planned and 25 fewer than what’s required by city law to fill the apartments to capacity.

Day said Tuesday that HERE was now working with city staff and Kansas University to find other parking options without having to demolish the apartment building at 1137 Indiana St. Day did not elaborate on what those alternatives may be.

What to do with the already-constructed parking garage that can no longer be robotic also has yet to be discussed.

In January, HERE proposed to the City Commission that the garage be used for valet parking only. Commissioners voiced concerns about the width of the parking spaces and whether the system would cause future tenants to park elsewhere in the already congested Oread neighborhood.

Commissioners unanimously voted to send the plan back to the Planning Commission in order for city staff to determine whether it was practical.

It’s unsure when that issue will go back before the City Commission.

Johnson sometimes provides a theme for the day.

wrong with colorers expressing their creativity.

“There’s a whole section on that in this book,” Skinner said of the “Sea Life” coloring book her friend Corinna Papps gave her.

It may be OK to wander out of the lines, but there were no examples of that among the intricate designs she had completed within that book. Skinner said one appealing thing about coloring was losing herself in the discipline of the process.

“You put your brain to this, and you don’t hear all the other voices,” she said. “You sort of get in touch with your inner child. It’s relaxing and therapeutic because there’s really nothing important about it.”

In its recently finalized Central District redevelopment plan, KU is counting largely on AAP revenue to fund about $6.4 million of the $21.8 million annual sublease payment required to realize the project.

I’ve been trying to routinely check in on the program, partly because it’s important financially, partly because it’s new and partly because it’s a partnership between KU and a private business, Shorelight Education, and therefore not 100 percent transparent.

On Tuesday, two administrators shared a few new AAP developments with the Faculty Senate Executive Committee.

Most notably, starting this fall the AAP — so far just for freshmen — will open to first-year graduate students, said Roberta Pokphanh, AAP academic director.

First, here’s how the current program works: Shorelight recruits students from around the world, who pay a flat fee of about $45,000 to participate. The program

FROM LEFT, ACADEMIC ACCELERATOR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS SHIRAN ZHANG, KEJING WANG AND BOLING HUANG, all from China, take part in a Kansas culture class on Nov. 21, 2014. provides 12 months of room, board, tuition and activities. Coursework focuses on intensive English and cultural instruction.

Students emerge with about 30 credit hours.

The AAP’s new master’s program will work the same way, but the students will emerge with six to nine credit hours toward a master’s degree, Pokphanh said.

Pokphanh said she expects the first year’s cohort to be very small, probably less than 10. She said there probably won’t be an accurate count until the semester begins.

She said the AAP also has started offering a shorter version of the program for freshmen who come in with higher

English proficiency.

At the beginning of this school year, there were about 250 students in the AAP program. In the program’s first year, participants came from China, India, Vietnam, Russia and Nigeria.

Stuart Day, KU’s acting senior vice provost for academic affairs, told the committee that Shorelight continues expanding to new countries. Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is a current recruiting target, and Latin American countries including Colombia and Mexico will come next, he said.

Wills shouldn’t be used to punish children Dear Annie: My wife of 44 years and I have two adopted children.

Our son was perfect — no trouble, a college diploma, a good job, etc. We bought him a car at 16, and another when he graduated college. We helped with the furniture for his first apartment.

We loaned him the down payment on his house and he paid us back.

Our daughter, however, was a challenge.

She abused drugs, had no interest in school, ran away, had multiple out-of-wedlock pregnancies, couldn’t hold a job and ended up in jail for shoplifting. Over the years, we spent thousands of dollars on counseling, purchased multiple apartments of furniture when she was trying to get re-

That split seemed reasonable when we made our wills 15 years ago, but my business has continued to grow and today that split would result in one child receiving $2.4 million more than the other. I don’t want a rift between siblings and I don’t particularly want to be remembered by one as a Grinch. Any suggestions on a split that is a little closer to fair? — Your Opinion Please

children’s expenses rarely end up being equal, so the split now seems as though you are punishing her for past mistakes. And her money is in a trust, so it is essentially going to your grandchildren.

Too many people think of wills as a way to punish or reward their relatives. Please don’t. The amount is generous enough that neither child is going to suffer. We also recommend you discuss these things with your son and daughter in advance, so that there are no unpleasant surprises.

‘Vikings’ bloodier than ever The “Vikings” (9 p.m., History, TV-14) are back! Bury your silver. The compelling, ultraviolent family saga returns for a 20-episode fourth season that will air in two separate installments.

The story resumes with Ragnar (Travis Fimmel) knock, knock, knockin’ on Valhalla’s door. After Paris, he’s considered a goner by enemies and friends. These include his stunning, if scheming, second wife, Queen Aslaug (Alyssa Sutherland). Ragnar’s sidekick, Floki (Gustaf Skarsgard), who murdered the king’s Christian confidant, Athelstan (George Blagden), at the end of season three, is also not too keen for Ragnar to awaken.

Meanwhile, back in Paris, Ragnar’s brother, Rollo (Clive Standen), learns that power politics and imperial deals make for very strange bedfellows.

The raid on Paris has resulted in a mass of gold and treasure. More importantly, it has opened the Vikings’ eyes to a new kind of military hardware that should up the body count on this very violent show, while at the same time rendering some of their colorful tactics a tad obsolete.

Not to give too much away, but the bloodiest moments include Ragnar’s discarded first wife, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick), caught up in power struggles of her own. The less said about this scene, the better.

Guys, you never want to mess with a shield maiden.

“Vikings” continues to appeal to those of us brave enough to admit that we find the narrative on “Game of Thrones” more convoluted than engaging. A fairly simple family story complete with power struggles and savagery, “Vikings” most resembles “The Sopranos” in emphasizing a complicated leader beset with underlings with very mixed motivations and surrounded by fierce women more than capable of great loyalty and betrayal.

School denial Kansas legislators seem to be taking a head-in-the-sand approach to addressing a court order on funding K-12 public schools.

K

ansas legislative leaders appear to be in denial on the issue of public school finance.

The Kansas Supreme Court has ordered the Legislature to provide a new, more equitable way to fund the state’s K-12 public schools by June 30. If legislators fail to meet that deadline, the ruling says, the state will not have a valid funding mechanism for those schools. Without state funds, the schools cannot operate.

That seems like an important matter, but members of the Kansas House and Senate are blithely going about the business of passing a budget for the next fiscal year without even discussing how the state will meet its court-ordered obligation to fund schools.

Last week, both the House and Senate passed revised budgets for fiscal year 2017, which starts on July 1, without even discussing the school finance issue. On Monday, a conference committee representing both houses reconciled the two proposals and passed a compromise budget, again without any school discussion.

That proposal may be considered by the full House and Senate later this week.

Senate budget committee chairman Ty Masterson, R-Andover, said the court opinion was irrelevant to the budget debate and called Democratic efforts to raise the issue “nothing more than an opportunity to politically grandstand on a hot topic.”

House budget chairman Ron Ryckman Jr., R-Olathe, said that lawmakers could talk about schools later. “There’s no reason to hold the rest of the state budget hostage on one issue.”

Here’s one reason: The original House and Senate budgets committed all but about $6 million of the state’s expected general fund revenue, but state education officials estimate it would cost about $70 million this year and $39 million next year to comply with the court’s ruling. Where will that money come from?

Last year, legislators instituted a block-grant system that essentially keeps school funding flat for two years.

During that time, they said they planned to write a new school finance formula.

That was almost a year ago, but there appears to have been little progress on that task. Faced with the June 30 deadline, legislators are taking a head-in-thesand approach to the problem. Rather than reinstating the previous school finance formula or stepping up efforts to write a new plan, they are refusing, at least for now, to acknowledge the unpleasant reality they face.

Legislators seem to be hoping this problem will go away, but it won’t. They may think the Supreme Court would never close Kansas schools and they’re going to call the court’s bluff — or if, by some chance, schools close, Kansans will blame the court, not the Legislature.

If that’s what they’re thinking, they could be seriously misreading the Kansas public. Meeting the state’s obligation to fund public schools is a real responsibility that requires some real leadership that seems to be sorely lacking in the Legislature right now.

Future of weaponry is unsettling Munich — The Munich Security Conference is an annual catalog of horrors.

But the most ominous discussion last weekend wasn’t about Islamic State terrorism but a new generation of weapons — such as killer robots and malignly programmed “smart” appliances that could be deployed in a future conflict.

Behind the main events at the annual discussion of foreign and defense policy here was a topic described in one late-night session as “The Future of Warfare: Race with the Machines.”

The premise was that we are at the dawn of a new era of conflict in which all wars will be, to some extent, cyber wars, and new weapons will combine radical advances in hardware, software and even biology.

Espen Barth Eide, the former foreign minister of Norway, imagined a future weapon that fuses GPS guidance, facialrecognition technology and artificial intelligence and can be programmed like an electronic hit man. Kenneth Roth, the head of Human Rights Watch, noted the advantages of such “killer robots” for military planners: They don’t get tired, they wouldn’t get scared, and they would exercise consistent, if merciless, judgment.

“The genie will come out of the bottle,” predicted retired Adm. James Stavridis, a former NATO commander who now runs the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts. He noted that “warfare

American, Russian and Chinese ability to use these New Age weapons is indeed worrisome. But more frightening is the ability of terrorist groups, whose signature may not always be discernible, to use cyber and other high-tech skills.” has always been a process of invention and adjustment.”

A century ago, many people thought submarines were terrifying and unethical. Compared with, say, land mines or nuclear bombs, the effects of the new high-tech weapons may be less toxic and more precise.

Guests at a “Cyber Dinner” hosted here by the Atlantic Council considered the dawning world of killer appliances. In the coming “Internet of Things,” speakers noted, there will soon be more than 30 billion smart chips embedded in cars, elevators, refrigerators, thermostats and medical

devices. These pervasive, connected systems may well have poor security and be easily hackable.

The big worry in the future, argued several tech experts at the dinner, may not be data privacy — forget about that — but data security. “You can know my blood type, but don’t change it,” one speaker explained. Hackers may be able to alter data in financial markets, hospitals and electronic grids — paralyzing normal economic and social activity.

The rapidly evolving interface of technology and security was one theme of an unusual panel discussion here that brought together intelligence chiefs from the U.S., Britain, the Netherlands and the European Union. Spy chiefs don’t usually attend such foreign policy gatherings, least of all in Germany, a country with a deep mistrust of intelligence agencies. But led by James Clapper, the U.S. director of national intelligence, this group made a collective pitch for greater transparency on intelligence issues as technology empowers individuals and adversaries.

Clapper opened the door on the brave new world of weaponry with his annual threat-assessment testimony last week before Congress. He made headlines with comments about the explosive growth of the Islamic State and Russia’s onslaught against Syrian rebels. But the most surpris-

ing part of Clapper’s testimony involved technology — especially the mischievous uses of the “Internet of Things” (or IoT), smart devices embedded in vehicles, appliances and other computer products.

“In the future, intelligence services might use the IoT for identification, surveillance, monitoring, location tracking and targeting for recruitment, or to gain access to networks or user credentials,” Clapper told Congress. And he warned in his testimony that as artificial intelligence is built into weapons, they will be “susceptible to a range of disruptive and deceptive tactics that might be difficult to anticipate or quickly understand.”

American, Russian and Chinese ability to use these New Age weapons is indeed worrisome. But more frightening is the ability of terrorist groups, whose signature may not always be discernible, to use cyber and other high-tech skills. The Islamic State has already used chemical weapons in battle, according to Clapper, and the group is known to be working with drones. The next step, experts here said, may be bioweapons.

“We may look back on the good old days when all we had to worry about was nuclear weapons,” said Eide.

That sounds like a joke, until you think about what’s ahead.

Independent judiciary serves all

By Lumen Mulligan

To some of us, whether we are in government or as citizens, the Kansas Supreme Court’s recent actions striking down the 2015 school-finance scheme could be seen as a wrongful power grab.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The independence of the judiciary is not maintained for the benefit of the judges. It is for us — free citizens of a democratic republic governed under rule of law — for whom the courts stand open as fair and i m p a r t i a l Mulligan tribunals.

Of all the evils listed in the Declaration of Independence, none was worse than the colonial judges’ complete dependence upon the king. As Thomas Jefferson penned, “(King George III) has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.” Having experienced life under a system where judges bowed to political pressure, instead of standing up for the rights of the people under law, the

YOUR TURN founders were determined not to repeat that mistake.

Our founders were right on this score. Consider two recent examples where we, the people, needed an independent judiciary to strike down legislative acts to protect our rights: l When the D.C. legislature banned all handguns, an overwhelmingly popular law, the independent courts were there to exercise their duty to strike this law as a violation of the people’s right to bear arms. l When Gov. Kathleen Sebelius’ administration attempted to condemn property without first ensuring that all the creditors were paid, our independent Kansas judiciary was there to find the this conduct unconstitutional.

As these cases, and many more that I could list for you, demonstrate, we need an independent judiciary in our state now as much as we ever have. Even if some believe the independence of the courts are a barrier to the enactment of wise laws at this current moment, can these same people be sure that the next state or federal administration will not act beyond the bounds of the Constitution? None of us

knows who the next governor or president will be.

Prime Minister Winston Churchill famously quipped, “It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.”

What he meant was, democracy is a human endeavor. It is, therefore, not perfect, but it is better than any of the alternatives.

Much the same can be said of independent courts with the power to strike statutes as unconstitutional. I make no claim that the Kansas or federal courts have never erred, at least from my perspective, in applying constitutional law. I know full well that all Kansans have passionate views on school funding and many other issues. But perfection cannot be the right measure for any human institution — including our independent Kansas courts. The question must be, over the course of our history and looking toward an uncertain future: Are our liberties better protected with an independent judiciary? The answer to this question can only be “yes.”

— Lumen Mulligan is the Earl B. Shurtz Research Professor of Law and director of the Shook Hardy & Bacon Center for Excellence in Advocacy at the Kansas University School of Law.

From the Lawrence Daily Journal-World for Feb. 17, 1916: years “To decide the ago sentiment of the IN 1916 students of the University of Kansas in regard to the present military questions before the public, the International Polity club on the hill is conducting a straw vote which will be concluded Tuesday. The students are asked to answer whether they favor compulsory military training in American schools, courses of instruction in military science, compulsory training in schools below the University, a substantial increase in armament for the United States, the administration’s program for increasing the army and navy.”

“In following out a policy of enforcing ‘to the letter’ the new regulations concerning University of Kansas student social activities, Mrs. Eustace Brown, adviser of women, has indicated that hereafter there may be stricter ‘regulation’ of the manner in which the students dance. A section of the new social rules approved by the joint committee on students interests of the University provides that, ‘To relieve the chaperone of the disagreeable character of certain responsibilities which may fall to her in case of any discourteous or questionable conduct on the part of those present, a floor committee should always be appointed to cooperate with the chaperone.’... While she does not condemn the conduct of K. U. students attending dances this year, Mrs. Brown feels that dances which are not tolerated by the Kansas City welfare officers, should also be on the taboo list here.”

“Korean Comfort Women,” 3 p.m. March 10.

Author and Korean scholar Maija Devine will present stories and littleknown suffering of women not often counted among WWII’s victims.

Around 1937, young Korean women began to disappear following Korean and Japanese “job” recruiters. Mostly ages 12 to 19 and from the poorest families in rural areas, these first comfort women provided sex to 20 to 30 Japanese soldiers daily, with promised (but mostly unrealized) compensation.

TOP OIL PRODUCERS In thousands of barrels per day: Nations that may freeze oil production

U.S. Saudi Arabia Russia

Faith in OPEC’s ability to prop up oil prices may prove fleeting as Iran plans to boost output and cash-poor U.S. producers can’t afford to stop pumping.

After reports surfaced Tuesday that Russia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Venezuela are poised to freeze oil output at January levels, oil briefly surged before settling down and even dipping into negative territory as reality set in.

Iran plans to return oil production to pre-sanctions levels, and Saudi Arabia refuses to cut production, so crude is unlikely to

move above the $40 to $50 range in 2016, analysts say.

The U.S. benchmark crude, West Texas Intermediate, fell 1.4% to $29.04, while Brent crude, the international standard,

els — and a United Arab Emirates official’s recent remark that a production cut could be coming — point to the possibility of a formalized deal on output in 2016.

Because the accord would come after OPEC increased production in January by 280,000 barrels per day to 32.6 million, according to the International Energy Agency, a sharp reversal appears unlikely. “It is not the output cuts that some in the markets have been hoping for,” Capital Economics analysts said Tuesday in a research note.

WOULD AN OPEC DEAL TO CUT PRODUCTION RAISE PRICES?

Three separate reports of impending OPEC action recently led to brief increases in oil prices, so all indications point to yes.

Short-term price relief for cash-strapped oil producers may not lead to significant long-term price increases because a lull in OPEC production could be easily offset by increases elsewhere.

Askari projected that oil prices would hover in the $30-to-$50per-barrel range for the next seven to 10 years, barring a catastrophic attack on oil distribution facilities.

Findings show voters fear unwelcome policies coming from either party in White House Susan Page and Jenny Ung USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Americans aren’t just for or against presidential candidates this year: Color them scared.

In a national USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll, likely voters given the choice of four options — enthusiastic, satisfied, dissatisfied or scared — are most inclined to say the prospect of Donald Trump winning the Republican nomination or Hillary Clinton winning the Democratic one would leave them fearful.

The findings underscore an increasingly bitter divide in American politics. Partisans on both sides warn that the leading candidate on the other side would not only pursue unwelcome policies in the White House but would imperil the nation’s fundamental values and constitutional principles.

That strong antipathy, which touches a third of independentminded voters, will complicate the candidates’ task of appealing to swing voters and reaching across party lines in the general election. The poll of 1,000 likely voters, taken Thursday through Monday, has a margin of error of +/-3 percentage points.

Judge orders Apple to help break into killer’s phone

FBI can’t unlock San Bernardino attacker’s encrypted device Kevin Johnson and Jessica Guynn USA TODAY

WASHINGTON Apple must help the FBI break into an iPhone belonging to one of the killers in the San Bernardino, Calif., shootings, a federal judge ordered Tuesday.

Tashfeen Malik and her husband, Syed Rizwan Farook shot and killed 14 people in December.

The couple later died in a gun

battle with police. The iPhone was recovered from the vehicle in the aftermath of the attack.

The ruling from U.S. Magistrate Sheri Pym requires Apple to provide the FBI with software that can disable the security feature that erases data from the iPhone after too many unsuccessful attempts to unlock it.

Apple could not be immediately reached for comment.

Last week, FBI Director James Comey told a Senate panel that investigators still have not been able to unlock the encrypted cellphone of Farook.

“We still have one of those killer’s phones that we haven’t been

able to open,” Comey told members of the Senate Intelligence Committee during a hearing on threats to the homeland. “It’s been over two months now. We are still working on it.”

Comey made the comments in

response to questions from senators about how encrypted cellphones and other devices can hinder investigations because they cannot be unlocked, even by the companies that made them.

The encryption debate, which pits security hawks against privacy advocates, has intensified in the wake of the terrorist attacks in San Bernardino and Paris.

Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr, R-N.C., is working with Vice Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., on a bill that would compel tech companies to provide encrypted data to law enforcement agencies.

Following Tuesday’s ruling,

Los Angeles U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said the move to unlock the phone represented an attempt to “exhaust every investigative lead in the case.”

The Obama administration has held discussions with Silicon Valley companies to press Apple, Facebook and others to do more to prevent terrorists from using the Internet to spread propaganda, incite violence and attract recruits. Companies, sensitive to the fallout from government spying revelations by former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, have been wary of being seen as aiding the government to spy on users.

VOICES

Dying cancer warrior was best teacher Laura Ungar @laura_ungar USA TODAY

LOUISVILLE I left her story unfinished.

The morning Jill BrzezinskiConley died, I was writing about her experiences with hospice care — one of dozens of stories chronicling her journey with incurable breast cancer that I’ve written for USA TODAY and The Courier-Journal over 2½ years.

I got as far as the first two sentences.

Cancer cut short her life story.

But Jill, more than anyone I’ve ever known, made the best of her 38 years, inspiring others despite pain, exhaustion and frailty. She defeated cancer, even in death, because she never let it define her or extinguish her light. And through her example, I learned many lessons about myself, my craft, and life.

Live your purpose. One of Jill’s dying missions was to spread her belief that true beauty is defined by kindness, confidence and love. She shined with that beauty, so brightly that you never noticed she had only one reconstructed breast. The other was destroyed by radiation, and she refused to wear a prosthetic because she knew she was beautiful without it.

Jill gave talks around the nation, encouraging everyone to “Rock What You Got.” She reminded me to ignore the new wrinkles of middle age, to love my body, cherish my health and tell my 14-year-old daughter not to believe all the shallow messages about beauty out there.

She renewed my resolve to never waver from my own mission — touching lives through meaningful stories.

Life happens in this moment. Jill refused to wither. She would sometimes forgo chemotherapy if it meant she’d be too sick to give a talk or get together

MICHAEL CLEVENGER, THE (LOUISVILLE) COURIER-JOURNAL

Jill Conley shares a laugh with members of her foundation’s board in February 2015. She gave talks around the U.S., encouraging people to “Rock What You Got.”

PHOTO BY JESSICA EBELHAR/THE COURIER-JOURNAL

Jill Conley, third from left, and husband Bart, second from left, walk in the Kentucky Oaks Survivors Parade at Churchill Downs in Louisville on May 2, 2014. with friends or family once more. She traded the possibility of more time for living fully in the moment. She danced in the kitchen to her favorite song when she still could dance. She cracked jokes even in her last week.

Watching her, I realized how

much I worry about the future — meeting next week’s deadline or weathering the turbulence of the journalism business or getting my two kids through college. Or I concentrate on fleeting news or trivial things and put off the important stuff.

Jill knew her time was too

limited to let moments pass. I need to know that too.

Be generous. We’re all in this together. Jill connected with the beauty in others and put them first. Even when I sat at her bedside the day after she went home on hospice, she asked to see photos of my children and my latest trip to India.

She sent thank you notes to doctors and nurses. She kept journals filled with life advice for her nieces and nephews. She called and wrote messages to other patients, and founded a charity to raise money for families facing cancer even though she and her husband Bart never had much money themselves.

Perhaps the ultimate act of generosity was to live so transparently — to let me stay with her as the cancer spread from her bones to her lungs to her liver, as her breath grew short, her voice raspy, her body thinner.

She shared her waning life with strangers to give them strength through their trials.

You must live within some stories in order to tell them.

With Jill, I couldn’t help but become a close friend and make

cancer a common enemy. I admired Bart’s love for her as he drained fluid from her lung or curled beside her when she was mostly confined to their bed. I got goosebumps when Jill’s mother told her it was a privilege to have her as a daughter. I cried in the arms of a church volunteer at Jill’s funeral, as her coffin was wheeled to a hearse.

Looking through my iPhone less than a week after Jill’s Feb. 2 death, I saw one of her last texts, letting me know about her latest hospitalization and ending with the words “love u.” She said it a few times, and I told her the same.

Following Jill’s story meant losing a friend, and being reminded that love’s cost is pain, but is worth it anyway.

Use your gifts to be an instrument of God. At Jill’s visitation, cancer survivor Kristina Peter approached me, saying stories on Jill gave her the strength to “rock what she got” while recovering from surgery, losing her hair and eyebrows and living with scars. She told me I’ll never know how many readers also found hope and kinship and felt they lost a friend when Jill died.

Reader Barbara Curran, who lost her first husband and a son to cancer, called Jill “God’s instrument in giving hope, strength and love to others.”

To play a part in that, to use my gifts and the stage I’ve been given, is humbling. Such stories are why I’m a journalist. Just as there’s a universe in each person, there’s a big story in every personal one, and Jill’s struggles reflect those of nearly 600,000 Americans lost to cancer each year.

BOUTROS BOUTROS-GHALI NOV. 14, 1922 - FEB. 16, 2016

Ex-U.N. chief served in tumultuous time

John Bacon USA TODAY

UNITED NATIONS VIA EUROPEAN PRESSPHOTO AGENCY

U.N. Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali died at 93.

Former United Nations secretary-general Boutros BoutrosGhali, who served a turbulent five-year term that ended in 1996, died Tuesday in his native Cairo.

The U.N. Security Council observed a minute of silence in his honor.

Boutros-Ghali, 93, was the first African to assume the United Nations’ top post. His run as secretary-general ended when the United States vetoed his nomination for a second five-year term.

He was replaced by another African, Kofi Annan of Ghana.

Boutros-Ghali was a popular choice in the United States when he first took the job, but a series of clashes with U.S. policy doomed his U.N. career. The Clinton administration took him to

task for his refusal to support NATO bombing of Serbs in Bosnia. Congress repeatedly balked at the high cost of dues paid to the United Nations.

Wars in Rwanda, Somalia, Haiti and the former Yugoslavia dominated his tenure. In 2005, Boutros-Ghali told the Associated Press the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 that left 500,000 people dead in less than four months was “my worst failure at the United Nations.” He blamed the United States and European nations for blocking intervention. “The concept of peacekeeping was turned on its head and worsened by the serious gap between mandates and resources,” he said.

Boutros-Ghali attended a Camp David summit in 1978 with Egypt’s then-president Anwar Sadat and helped negotiate the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel that were signed

“I’m voting for anyone but Hillary,” declared Alyssa Van Wagenen, 29, of Meridian, Ind. Of the three candidates tested, voters were inclined to have a positive reaction only for Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Thirty-one percent of those surveyed say they would be satisfied if he won the Democratic nomination, a bit more than the 28% who would be scared.

For Trump, 38% of likely voters would be scared if the real estate mogul won the GOP nomination — including not only 62% of Democrats but also 17% of Republicans.

Sanders is viewed somewhat more positively by Republicans and independents than Clinton is.

Democrats are more likely to be scared by his nomination: 45% of Republicans, 28% of independents and 12% of Democrats say that would be their reaction.

The poll makes clear the headwinds ahead for Trump and Clinton if they prevail in the primaries.

For Trump, a majority of likely voters, 56%, have a negative response to his prospective nomination, including 18% who say they would be dissatisfied. Almost four in 10 have a positive reaction: 15% enthusiastic and 24% satisfied.

Clinton fares only a bit better: 54% have a negative response to her nomination, including 21% who would be dissatisfied. A little more than four in 10 have a positive reaction: 16% enthusiastic and 26% satisfied.

The response to Sanders’

CRUZ, TRUMP FIGHT IT OUT IN SOUTH CAROLINA Once-congenial candidates extend claws, exchange swipes David Jackson USA TODAY

COLUMBIA , S . C.

So much for that Donald Trump-Ted Cruz friendship.

The two anti-establishment candidates who once spoke so well of each other are defining South Carolina’s Republican primary with mutual recriminations and even the threat of a lawsuit

by Trump against Cruz.

Saying the election has too often resembled “a circus,” Cruz told a supportive crowd at a National Guard armory Tuesday in Columbia that “the time for frivolity is over — the time for games is over.”

Trump, the leader of many Palmetto State polls by wide margins, said this week that “my only worry about South Carolina is that my opponents lie — especially Cruz.”

Cruz attack ads question Trump’s commitment to conservatism. Trump said the Texas senator lies about Trump’s positions on abortion, gun rights and other issues important to Republicans, and he has threatened to retaliate with a lawsuit challenging Cruz’s eligibility to be president because he was born in Canada.

How things have changed.

During Trump’s rise to frontrunner status in the Republican field during the second half of last year, Cruz refused repeated invitations to criticize the New York businessman. The two candidates even did an event together in September to protest the Iran nuclear agreement.

Trump returned Cruz’s favor — until Iowa. As Cruz passed Trump in some polls in the Hawkeye State, the businessman began raising questions about the Texan’s eligibility to be president, given his birth in Canada. Cruz said he is eligible because his mother was a U.S. citizen.

The feud escalated after Cruz

In Harlem, Clinton proposes plan to combat racial inequality Heidi M. Przybyla USA TODAY

Hillary Clinton, citing a lingering “reality of systemic racism” in America, called for a comprehensive approach to battling racial inequity on Tuesday that goes beyond changes to the criminal justice system.

The Democratic presidential hopeful unveiled a multipronged effort, including job investments, equal pay for women of color and ending what is for many young black men a school-to-prison pipeline.

She began her speech in Harlem by highlighting the water crisis in Flint, Mich., where children have been poisoned by lead-laced water because “their governor wanted to save a little money,” Clinton said.

“It was not a coincidence that this was allowed to happen in a largely black,” poor community, she said. “There are many Flints across our country, places

where people have been ... left behind.” She cited schools that are more segregated now than in 1968 and the fact that blacks are three times as likely to be denied a mortgage.

Clinton’s speech is among the most forceful on race she has given, and she sought to draw a distinction with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who has campaigned on an economic justice platform. Clinton said the na-

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia’s funeral will be held Saturday in Washington, D.C., at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the largest Roman Catholic church in North America, according to media reports.

The late justice will lie in repose at the Supreme Court on Friday from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., following in a tradition last observed after the death of Chief Justice William Rehnquist in 2005. The public is invited to pay respects during that time. A private ceremony will be held at 9:30 a.m.

The court’s senior justice, Scalia, 79, was found dead Saturday at a West Texas ranch during a hunting trip.

— Richard Wolf RUSSIA DENIES SYRIA HOSPITAL BOMBING

Russia on Tuesday denied claims it bombed a hospital funded by Doctors Without Borders in northern Syria.

It came after the United Nations said nearly 50 civilians were killed Monday in airstrikes on five hospitals and two schools in northern Syria, days before a proposed cease-fire is due to begin.

The United States and aid groups

blamed the Syrian government and its ally, Russia, for the airstrikes. Neither nation has acknowledged responsibility for the attacks.

Doctors Without Borders said seven people died when a hospital it funds in Maarat al-Numan, in Idlib province, was bombed. A further eight staff members were missing and presumed dead, the aid agency said. The Britainbased Syrian Observatory for Human Rights blamed Russian warplanes, but Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, denied the accusation Tuesday.

— Jane Onyanga-Omara SPECIAL PROSECUTOR IN MCDONALD CASE SOUGHT

A coalition of politicians and activists on Tuesday petitioned the Cook County Circuity Court to appoint a special prosecutor to bring the case against a Chicago police officer for the high-profile shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald in 2014.

The call to replace Cook County State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez — which is backed by Rep. Danny Davis, Rep. Bobby Rush, McDonald’s family and several community activist groups — comes as Alvarez is locked in a tough reelection fight.

Alvarez, along with Mayor

tion’s challenges aren’t just rooted in economic inequality but are “problems of racial inequality, and we’ve got to say that loudly and clearly.

“It’s absolutely critical to me that we look at the full array of issues that do stand in the way,” Clinton said after meeting with Cornell Brooks, head of the NAACP, Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League, and others.

IN BRIEF

REPORTS: JUSTICE SCALIA’S FUNERAL SET FOR SATURDAY

HEIDI HEILBRUNN, THE GREENVILLE NEWS

Yellowstone National Park officials started trapping bison Monday as part of an annual effort to kill hundreds of the area’s iconic animals through hunting or shipment to slaughterhouses.

Government agencies aim to drive down the bison population by as many as 900 this year to reduce the mammals’ centuries-old migration beyond the park’s boundaries and into Montana, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported.

A plan calls for eventually culling bison in the park from about 5,000 down to 3,000.

Efforts to winnow the bison’s migration came after fears from Montana ranchers and landowners that the bison may vie with cattle for grazing space or transmit disease, according to the Associated Press.

Prosecutors said Tuesday that human error caused two trains to crash head-on last week near the southern German town of Bad Ailing last week, killing 11 people and injuring dozens.

“Had the dispatcher acted in accordance with the rules, as bound by his duty, the accident would not have happened,” lead prosecutor Wolfgang Gieser told reporters in Bavaria.

Geise said there was no evidence of a technical fault for the Feb. 9 accident. He said his office has opened a criminal investigation against the 39-year-old dispatcher on suspicion of negligent homicide, bodily harm and interference with rail traffic. He didn’t identify the man.

Trump accused the Texas senator of using dirty tricks to prevail. He has described the Texas senator as “unstable,” as well as a liar.

During the South Carolina campaign, Cruz has sought to highlight Trump’s past support for Democratic candidates and policies, including abortion rights and gun control. As in Iowa, Cruz hopes to take South Carolina via the support of the state’s many evangelical and socially conservative voters.

Trump, who says he opposes abortion and would protect the Second Amendment, has objected to Cruz’s criticism of his sister, a federal appellate judge. Cruz called Maryanne Trump Barry a “radical pro-abortion extremist.”

Tuesday, Cruz toured South Carolina with a former rival who was one of the first to speak out against Trump: former Texas governor Rick Perry.

In a state that has many military bases and veterans who vote, Cruz campaigns on a pledge of “rebuilding the American military,” which he describes as “one of the most serious tasks facing the next commander in chief.”

Both Trump and Cruz campaign against what they call the Republican establishment, saying it has let down GOP voters.

Senate should allow vote on high court’s nominee, Obama says

Without naming pick, he urges lawmakers to end ‘obstructionist’ ways, heed Constitution Gregory Korte @gregorykorte USA TODAY

President Obama called on the Senate to “rise above day-to-day politics” and consider his as-yetunnamed pick to replace Justice Antonin Scalia on the Supreme Court.

“I understand the stakes. I understand the pressure that Republican senators are undoubtedly under,” he said Tuesday. “The court is divided on many issues, and this will be a deciding vote.”

But he said objections from Republican senators that Obama shouldn’t be able to nominate someone in his last year defies the Constitution itself. “I’m amused when I hear people who are supposed to be strict interpreters of the Constitution suddenly reading into it all kinds of provisions that are not there,” he said.

“Part of the problem we have here is that we’ve almost become accustomed to how obstructionist the Senate has become to pending nominations,” he said. “This argument is just an extension of what we’ve seen in the Senate generally, and not just judicial nominees.”

Obama stopped short of tipping his hand in terms of who he

would nominate.

When asked whether his comments should be interpreted as suggesting a moderate, he said, “You shouldn’t assume anything about the qualifications of the nominee other than that they’re well qualified.”

“There’s not going to be any particular position on any particular issue that determines whether I nominate them, but I’m going to nominate somebody who is indisputably qualified for the seat,” he said.

Obama discussed the process in a news conference in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where he hosted members of the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations for a two-day summit.

Speaking about the nomination for the first time since hearing of Scalia’s death Saturday, Obama prefaced his remarks by reiterating his condolences to the Scalia family.

“Obviously, Justice Scalia and I had different political orientations, and we probably would have disagreed on specific cases, but there’s no doubt that he was a giant on the Supreme Court,” he said. “It’s important before we rush into all the politics of this to take stock of somebody who made an enormous contribution to the United States.”

President Obama speaks during a news conference Tuesday following a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations at the Sunnylands estate in Rancho Mirage, Calif.

Iran, Iraq say they won’t join four other nations in cutbacks Jane Onyanga-Omara and Nathan Bomey

@janeomara, @NathanBomey USA TODAY

Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Russia and Venezuela on Tuesday reportedly agreed to freeze oil production at January levels if other oilproducing countries do the same.

But indications that Iraq and Iran have no plans to slash production dampened hopes for a

global reduction in oil output — and prices relinquished earlier gains, slipping into negative territory.

West Texas Intermediate crude fell 1.4% to $29.04, and Brent crude, the international standard, slipped 3.6% to $32.18.

Tuesday’s report of possible agreement on production levels marked the latest in a series of reports over the last several weeks that OPEC could be nearing an agreement. But in each case, the market has responded positively, driving up the price of oil briefly before recognizing the hopes of production cuts may be fleeting.

“After the meeting, four coun-

“The reason we agreed to a potential freeze of production is simple: It is the beginning of a process, which we will assess in the next few months and decide if we need other steps to stabilize and improve the market,” Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi told reporters.

“We don’t want significant gyrations in prices, we don’t want reduction in supply, we want to meet demand, we want a stable oil price. We have to take a step at a time,” he added.

the top producers and exporters of oil.

Eugen Weinberg, head of commodities research at Commerzbank AG in Germany, said the four nations’ oil production had not grown recently.

“If Iran and Iraq are not a part of the agreement, it’s not worth much — and even then there is still a question of compliance,” he said, according to Bloomberg.

Iran has said it will increase oil output after international sanctions were lifted in January following a deal with world powers to curb its nuclear program.

Oil prices have fallen sharply over the past 14 months.

This recall covers Saab 9-3 vehicles from the 2003 through 2011 model years, Saab 9-5s from 2010 through 2011 and Saturn Astras from 2008 and 2009. About 180,000 of the vehicles are in the U.S.; the remainder are in Canada. Last month, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration expanded the largest-ever recall of Takata’s air-bag inflators from 23 million to about 28 million.

PFIZER SETTLES MEDICAID CLAIMS FOR $785 MILLION Pfizer has agreed to pay $784.6 million to resolve unpaid Medicaid rebates. The longrunning case involves practices relating to the calculation of Medicaid rebates by Wyeth for Protonix from 2001 to 2006. Pfizer acquired Wyeth in 2009. The Justice Department had alleged Wyeth violated the law by not offering to Medicaid the discounts it had given to hospitals on its heartburn drug. The Justice Department had estimated damages could total more than $2 billion. The agreement does not include an admission of liability by Wyeth. Pfizer shares closed up 1.53% to $29.81 Tuesday.

REBOUND RALLY LIKELY JUST TEMPORARY RESPITE Many Wall Street pros aren’t convinced selling is over despite two days of big gains

Adam Shell @adamshell USA TODAY

A

relief rally, oversold bounce — call it what you want — is underway on Wall Street. But believers in the two-day stock rally having a long shelf life are in short supply.

Skeptics warn that it’s a “bear market rally” — or a short-term pop that could last days or weeks but within the contour of an ongoing down market.

When stocks are in a downward spiral like this year, hope springs eternal on Wall Street every time shares bounce higher.

Like Friday, when the Dow Jones industrial average soared 314 points. Or Tuesday, when it jumped another 223 points to 16,196.

Investors exhale. They figure the worst is over, that the bull is back.

That upbeat analysis may prove true, and last Thursday’s midday turnaround on rumors of an OPEC oil production cut may mark the bottom of this painful correction that has pushed the small-cap Russell 2000 and many foreign stock indexes into fullfledged bear markets, or drops of 20% or more. The Dow and Standard & Poor’s 500 are still far from bear territory, down 11.6% and 11.0%, respectively, from their 2015 peaks.

“So far, rallies have been anemic but ... one of these rallies will be stronger,” says Gary Kaltbaum, president of Kaltbaum Capital Management. “We have no idea how long this lasts or how far it goes. We will just be ready when (selling) shows up again. Just remember the rules of bear market

rallies: The masses will believe the bear market is over and let out a big sigh of relief just because the market is rallying.”

From the bullish perspective, there’s a chance oil prices could stabilize after Tuesday’s move by Saudi Arabia, Russia, Qatar and Venezuela to freeze crude production if Iran and Iraq also agree. Stock valuations have come down sharply during the 2016 meltdown, which could lure buyers. And despite rising fears of a U.S. recession due to market tumult and slowing global growth, signs of one are still missing.

Still, Wall Street pros point out that many of the biggest one-day gains in history have come during bear markets and don’t always mark the end of a downtrend.

The biggest point gain in the Dow’s 120-year history was a 936.42-point rise Oct. 13, 2008, a month after the bankruptcy filing

of Wall Street bank Lehman Bros.

— but five months before the bear market low in March 2009.

Thirteen of the Dow’s 20 biggest one-day point gains have occurred during bear markets.

Here are a few reasons why stocks might relapse after the current rally: uThe damage is already done. Stocks and major stock indexes have taken big hits and have fallen through price levels that once served as a floor. The market needs time to heal and flush out sellers that will want to get out at higher prices or earlier levels they bought at.

The S&P 500, which closed at 1895.58 Tuesday, has to take out its Feb. 1 intraday high of 1947 then the key 2000 level, says Mark Arbeter, president of Arbeter Investments.

“A lot of damage needs to be repaired for the bull to continue,” he says. uMarket leaders in retreat. Market volatility is a sign of trouble ahead. Other bad signs: data showing declining stocks are starting to swamp advancing ones and an aging bull nearing its seventh birthday.

But what really worries Jim Stack, editor of InvesTech Research newsletter, is that the market’s old leaders no longer are leading the way.

“A market with narrowing participation and failing leadership is a market in trouble,” Stack wrote. uHeadwinds have not dissipated. Oil prices are still down big. China’s economy remains troubled. Growth in the U.S. has slowed. In short, business fundamentals like U.S. growth, corporate earnings, sales and stock valuations remain troubled, a potential ongoing negative for stocks.

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

The Dow will attempt to do something on Wednesday that it has been unable to do all year: string together three sessions in a row of gains.

In what has been a brutal start to 2016, the Dow Jones industrial average will try to score a hat trick of sorts. After rallying more than 200 points Tuesday, following a gain of more than 300 points last Friday before the three-day weekend, the blue-chip stock gauge will look to continue its comeback with another day of gains.

A third session in the black on heavy volume will go a long way toward stabilizing markets and breaking the bearish spell that has suffocated Wall Street since

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

the new year began.

After the two-session surge, the Dow has trimmed its year-todate loss to 7.1% and is now down 11.6% from its May 19 record close of 18,312.39.

Market sentiment, obviously, would get a major boost if the Dow and the other major U.S. stock indexes could mount a recovery from what has been a very difficult, very volatile and very trying time for investors.

There will be no shortage of market-moving data Wednesday.

Wall Street gets the latest January readings on housing starts, industrial production and inflation at the wholesale level. And at 2 p.m. ET, investors will be closely scrutinizing the Federal Reserve’s minutes from its Jan. 26-27 meeting, when it opted not to hike short-term interest rates following its first hike in a decade in December.

Processed meat no longer an irresistible share Q: Can Hormel keep cooking up profit?

Matt Krantz

@mattkrantz mkrantz@usatoday.com USA TODAY

A: Hormel has turned into a sizzling stock despite the odds. Wall Street analysts think the stock’s future could be more lean, though.

Shares of Hormel, a meat processor behind brands such as Spam, are up 60% over the past 12 months, which is a solid gain given the Standard & Poor’s 500 is down more than 10% during the same period. While the rest of the market has struggled this year, Hormel shares are up about 15%.

The company Tuesday reported 23% higher adjusted quarterly profit of 43 cents a share. That topped expectations by 16%, S&P Global Market Intelligence says. Shares of Hormel added another 7%, or $2.94, to close at $44.44 apiece Tuesday on the better-than-expected results. It wasn’t just a lucky quarter. The company also boosted its forecast for fiscal 2016 profit to be between $1.50 and $1.56 a share — which is above the $1.49 a share expected by Wall Street analysts.

Hormel’s story and performance are strong — and the stock is attractive during economic uncertainty despite health warnings about processed meat.

But with a trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 35 times, it no longer is the undiscovered morsel it was. Analysts rate the stock a “hold” and say it’s already blown past the $37.14 price target.

ADT is latest acquisition by Apollo Global Mike Snider @MikeSnider USA TODAY

Private equity firm Apollo Global Management has acquired ADT for nearly $7 billion and will merge it with another home security company, Protection 1.

Apollo, which owns Protection 1 parent Prime Security Services Borrower LLC, will pay $42 per share of ADT, a premium of nearly 56% over ADT’s closing share price Friday of $26.87. The stock rose more than 47% on news of

ADT’s stock closed up 47.5% to finish at $39.64 on Tuesday.

ADT

the deal.

The combined company will retain the name ADT and remain headquartered in Boca Raton, Fla., and have annual revenue of more than $4.2 billion.

The deal comes at a time of increased competition in the home security market, which is forecast to grow globally from $31.4 billion last year to $47.5 billion in 2020, according to global research firm Markets and Markets.

In the U.S., which accounts for about 60% of the market, traditional players such as ADT and Honeywell have seen the arrival

of fairly recent entrants such as AT&T, Comcast, Time Warner Cable and Verizon — and Google, which markets its own Nest Cam security camera and home networking products.

Protection 1 CEO and President Timothy Whall will be CEO of the combined business. Protection 1’s success in commercial security will help ADT’s expansion into that market, he said in a statement.

“The combined company will be a market leader with a powerful brand and scale resulting in an enhanced overall customer expe-

rience,” Whall said.

ADT’s board approved the transaction, which is expected to be completed by June. During a 40-day “go-shop” period, ADT can look for a better deal than the one offered by Apollo.

Tyco International, which purchased ADT in 1997, spun off ADT as an independent publicly traded company in 2012.

In another deal announced last week, Apollo and other investors acquired the parent of the University of Phoenix for $1.1 billion and will take the company private.

Comedy Central already has

renewed Broad for two more seasons and ordered another series co-created by Glazer called Time Traveling Bong, due April 20.

They also have sold their first movie script, for a comedy to be

directed by Paul Feig, and plan to continue pursuing a mix of joint and solo projects.

For the close friends, a lot has stayed the same since they met while taking improv classes at Upright Citizens Brigade in 2007 — eventually starting the Broad City Web series, which led to the Amy Poehler-produced TV show.

“We keep wanting to make each other laugh, which is why I think people write together,” Glazer says.

Adds Jacobson: “Our love and desire for bacon, egg and cheeses has not changed at all.” Also, “we’re still pretty much sitting on the floor in somebody’s apartment writing. There are definitely things that have become a little bit more glamorous, but for the most part, our daily routines are the same.”

There’s a reason your friends won’t stop saying, “Yas, queen!”

The empowering expression has launched a thousand GIFs since becoming a catchphrase on Comedy Central’s Broad City, back Wednesday (10 p.m. ET/PT) for a third season of best friends and bong hits. Stars and creators Ilana Glazer, 28, and Abbi Jacobson, 32, can’t walk outside without hearing at least one fan call it out to them.

“In New York, it’s all day, every day,” Glazer says with a laugh, remembering how she “wept” when Jeffrey Tambor’s Transparent heroine used it last season. But “it’s important to say that we didn’t create it. It comes from drag-queen culture in the late ’80s — it’s a very New York phrase.”

That’s fitting for a show as embedded in the Big Apple as Broad City, which follows the madcap misadventures of two inseparable pals, also named Abbi and Ilana.

Although low-rated, the diverse and bawdy comedy has become an endlessly quotable phenomenon on social media.

For Jacobson and Glazer, the new season turned out to be the hardest to write as they stepped back and re-examined previous episodes to see what they liked and where they wanted to go with the characters.

Ultimately, “Season 3 turned out to be the silliest and also the most grounded at the same time, because it gets really bonkers but also the most real we’ve ever gotten,” Jacobson says.

Wednesday’s episode stretches Murphy’s Law to preposterous extremes as Ilana and Abbi fumble through obstacles on their way to a friend’s gallery show.

Other episodes this season include Abbi impersonating Ilana as she volunteers at a hard-line hipster co-op, and making strides and facing setbacks at their respective 9-to-5 jobs.

Hillary Clinton also pops in for a cameo. “Lucky enough, the scene was about us reacting to meeting her, so we didn’t have to act at all and could just fully freak out,” Glazer says.

Playing such intensely relatable characters, Jacobson and Glazer have complicated relationships with their onscreen counterparts, whom they see as heightened versions of their younger, more reckless selves.

Many fans mistakenly think they are the exact same in real life and will often stop the actresses on the street for casual conversation.

“It’s a confusing thing, but it’s

The pressures on Taylor Blaine come to a violent turning point on Wednesday’s episode of ABC’s American Crime (10 p.m. ET/PT).

The 17-year-old (Connor Jessup), whose allegation of sexual assault involving another male causes turmoil in an elite Indiana prep-school community, already is dealing with other weighty matters, including his sexual orientation, his working-class upbringing and his relationship with his single mother, Anne (Lili Taylor). After the rape, a sense of victimhood overwhelms him.

“Taylor’s struggle all season has been a feeling of powerlessness. He has been trying to avoid things,” Jessup says. But in Wednesday’s episode, “he becomes an active agent. It shifts everything.”

Oscar winner John Ridley (12 Years a Slave), who created the critically acclaimed anthology series, decided to present the crucial event earlier in this season so ramifications could play out in the final three episodes.

In the first season, “we arrived at an ultimate point and did not

Anne Blaine (Lili Taylor) talks to her son, Taylor (Connor Jessup), in a moment of crisis in Wednesday’s American Crime. leave room to deal with the consequences,” he says. “In this episode, there’s a moment where you’re not sure which way this young man is going to go. We think it’s very important to have a full examination of that and the moments after that.”

Ridley says the youth element — evident at the prep school and a more diverse public high school — differentiates American Crime from its first season, which focused on the consequences arising from the murder of an Iraq War veteran.

“Last year, we were dealing

with matriarchs and patriarchs.

This year, we wanted to focus on family dynamics and give young people a voice. A lot of this is driven by parents having to react to kids,” he says.

Jessup, 21, a Toronto native, praises co-star Taylor and considers Noah Wyle, his co-star from TNT’s sci-fi drama Falling Skies, a mentor. And he says he can relate to a character just a few years his junior.

“Teenagers struggle with identity, whether it’s sexual, gender or family,” he says. “Even if the assault had never happened, he was

still struggling with his sexual orientation, with his past relationship with his mom. To have this assault piled on top of that is the most tragic thing.”

Women are more likely to experience sexual assault than men, but both share “a lot of the same issues of shame and harassment and (dealing with) the justice system,” Jessup says. For men, it ties into concepts of “masculinity, which is still, especially in the context of sports culture, a huge deal.”

Jessup says he wanted to avoid misrepresenting real-life experiences with sexual assault. He spoke to trauma counselors and says he has received letters from viewers who approve of the portrayal.

Ridley praises Jessup and the other youthful cast members — Joey Pollari, Angelique Rivera and Trevor Jackson — who join a returning ensemble that includes Felicity Huffman, Timothy Hutton, Emmy winner Regina King and Taylor.

The young actors “were asked to deal with subject matter that is very mature and sensitive,” Ridley says. “Connor is a terrific young man (who found) nuance and depth in a character who was meant to be overwhelmed.”

KU unveils uniforms for Black History Month J-W Staff Reports

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

NCAA changes make for prettier game That hybrid sport that blended basketball and rugby known as college basketball is shrinking in the rear-view mirror.

Unlike in past years, when the NCAA attempted to legislate a prettier game by floating word that certain types of contact would be called fouls, the intended change has taken shape.

Scoring is up, from an average of to 67.64 points per game to an average of 73.19 points through Sunday’s games. Almost all of that increase has come from the field, not the free-throw line. The number of free throws made per game has increased from 20.16 per game to 21.43.

Attempts in previous years to curtail the sumo wrestling tactics near the hoop followed a disturbing pattern: Word is sent from on high that refs would be enforcing rules they had ignored in the past. The coaches don’t believe the changes will stick. So they don’t change the way they teach defense all that much.

Excessive whistles turn the games into unsightly, choppy free-throw shooting contests. Spectators hold their noses and just as the coaches had suspected, the refs return to calling games as they had in the past.

Sumo wrestling — which although ugly still beats incessant stopping and starting to the command of the whistle — returned.

The coaches always won the stare downs.

Somehow, NCAA administrators and game referees effectively communicated to the coaches that this time the refs were not going to blink. This time, they meant business and the coaches believed them. So the coaches taught defense based on changes in the rules or in some cases interpretations of existing rules and the intended result of more freedom of movement for offensive players has been realized. With time, the athletes will do an even better job of breaking old habits, foul calls will decrease, however slightly, and prettier offense, if only by a slight, barely noticeable margin, will result.

Let’s hear it for the refs!

Hello, is anybody out there?

Is this microphone working (tap, tap, tap)? Crickets. That’s OK, refs aren’t supposed to be noticed and only are mentioned when they make a lousy call.

They share that fate with third-base coaches.

The paring of the shot clock from 35 seconds to 30, another positive change, also has had an impact on the scoring rise.

Throw a little credit the way of ESPN’s Jay Bilas as well. The E.F. Hutton of the college basketball world, Bilas railed in recent years at the absurdity of the college game surpassing the NBA in terms of physical play under the hoop.

The Kansas University men’s basketball team on Tuesday unveiled another set of alternate uniforms which will be worn during the Feb. 23 road game at Baylor (blue) and the Feb. 27 home game against Texas Tech (white).

In association with adidas, KU’s newly released, new-look duds pay homage to the uniforms worn by the Jayhawks in the 1950s and are a part of college basketball’s celebration of Black History Month.

Designed with royal blue and cream tones, the jerseys feature classic block lettering and numbers used during basketball’s early years.

The jersey includes crimson, blue and white accents, while the shorts feature a two-color stripe as a nod Jeff Jacobsen / Kansas Athletics to Kansas’ classic look and ADIDAS AND THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY BASKETBALL PROGRAM on Tuesday unveiled two special uniforms that KU feel. will wear during road games at Baylor (Feb. 23) and home against Texas Tech (Feb. 27).

SM North downs No. 1 Lions

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High’s boys basketball team wasn’t going to give away its Sunflower League crown — somebody was going to have to take it.

In a playoff-like atmosphere with the final two unbeaten teams in league play in the Jungle on Tuesday, Shawnee Mission North

refused to back down in the fourth quarter, knocking off the top-ranked Lions, 71-62.

It was the first home loss for the Lions in nearly two years, spanning 13 games.

When the final seconds ticked off the clock, the Indians jumped up and down along their sideline. For the Indians, this was more than just a regular league game. It was a chance to prove them-

selves in a rematch of the Class 6A state semifinal last year, where the Lions won by 14 points.

When the Lions cut the score to 54-50 midway through the fourth quarter, SM North’s 6-foot-5 senior forward Marcus Weathers scored eight straight points for the Indians to pull away Please see LIONS, page 3C

What if Diallo had dunked it?

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

The wildly entertaining dunks of Zach LaVine and Aaron Gordon in Saturday’s NBA Slam Dunk contest would likely have been erased from the minds of hoop fans Monday night ... had Cheick Diallo’s attempt with 29 seconds left in Kansas University’s 94-67 victory over Oklahoma State gone down.

“That’s easy to dunk, but I was so excited to make it. I was like, ‘Wow,’’’ Diallo, KU’s 6-foot-9 freshman from Mali said of his high flying attempt from the free throw line that crashed off the north Allen Fieldhouse rim.

Diallo, who had five rebounds and three blocked shots in seven productive minutes, explained his thought process on the breakaway dunk try.

“I was thinking, ‘I want to pass.’ As soon as I stepped to the free throw line, the lane was open. I was like, ‘I’m going to keep going,’’’ Diallo stated. “I said, ‘Let me go.’

It was too late, but my mind said, ‘Go, go, just go,’ but it was too late. That’s why I missed it,” Diallo added.

Diallo, who was 0-for-2 shooting Monday, also contributed to Saturday’s 76-72 victory at Oklahoma without scoring a point. He had four boards, a steal and a block in seven minutes versus the Sooners.

“At the beginning of the game, I was so excited because everyone was talking, ‘Oklahoma is the No. 1 team in the country.’ I was like, ‘We are the No. 1 team, too.

KU is the No. 1 team, too.’ I Please see HOOPS, page 3C

Kubiak’s departure for Denver continues exodus of KU assistants

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Another full-time assistant on David Beaty’s Kansas University football is leaving the program after just one season in Lawrence.

day afternoon that Kubiak was leaving to join his dad’s staff with the Denver Broncos. Kubiak later confirmed the move in a phone interview.

“I’ll be heading out there pretty quickly,” Kubiak, 28, told the Journal-World Tuesday. “And it was not an easy decision because of how much I think of coach

Beaty.”

DETROIT TIGERS

SEATTLE MARINERS

Detroit — With a playoff spot within reach this year, the Detroit Pistons made a trade they hope will benefit them both now and in the future.

1994 — San Antonio’s David Robinson records the fourth quadruple-double in NBA history with 34 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists and 10 blocks in the Spurs’ 115-96 win over Detroit.

According to the release, the uniforms feature the same lightweight, sweat-wicking technology used in the NBA versions. Designed to give players optimum performance on the court, targeted ventilation zones on the chest, back and side keep players cool even in the most intense moments of the game.

A mid-hole mesh on the shorts maximizes comfort and breathability.

was, ‘OK, we now are going to show who is the No. 1 team in the country,’’’ Diallo said.

“I did my job, blocking shots, rebounding, running the floor. The first half, I was playing well.

The second half I didn’t get a chance to play, but we won. That’s all that counts,” he added.

He has played seven or more minutes in five of the last nine games, including 10 minutes against Kentucky and TCU. Perhaps the only negatives on Monday were his two turnovers.

“Usually I don’t turn the ball over. I’m not supposed to turn the ball over,” Diallo said. “I don’t know how I turned the ball over like that. That’s kind of crazy.”

Of his blocks, he said: “That’s what I do best.”

Diallo said he’s confident the (22-4, 10-3) Jayhawks, who have won six straight games, will continue their hot streak.

“We lost a couple games at the beginning of the season. We’re going

Phillips in 2016. Kubiak was expected to coach KU’s inside receivers and Phillips, who came to KU from SMU, was brought on board to coach the outside receivers.

Where Beaty will go from here with the position likely depends upon what coaches are available and how he wants to fill out the staff in terms of recruiting.

Like recently departed running backs coach Reggie Mitchell, who late last week accepted a job at Arkansas, Kubiak said he believed KU football was on the rise and bound for

to do better. My opinion ... I think we’re not going to lose no more games,” Diallo said with a smile.

“I think we can win no matter what.”

He said he’s continued his habit of texting his coach, Bill Self, every night.

“I do, every time,” Diallo said. “Basically I ask what I need to do most now, because I’m trying to develop my game every day. Even days off, I just come to the gym to work on things. I work every day.”

OSU. “We have to continue to have nights like tonight. Even if a team puts a run on us (like OSU’s 17-5 run that cut the lead to six with 11:18 left) we need to put them away and get the win.” l

KU in first place: Texas defeated West Virginia on Tuesday night, meaning KU now has sole possession of first place in the Big 12 with five games remaining.

KU is 10-3, followed by the Mountaineers (9-4), Oklahoma (8-4), Texas (8-5), Baylor (8-5), Iowa State (7-6), Texas Tech (5-7), Kansas State (4-9), Oklahoma State (3-10) and TCU (2-11).

“We’ve got a long ways to go. We’ve put ourselves in good position. We have to finish the regular season off right,” KU junior forward Landen Lucas said after his 14-point, 10-rebound outing versus

Summer trip revisited: KU coach Self on Tuesday night’s Hawk Talk was asked if the Jayhawks’ trip to South Korea for the World University Games might have taken something out of the squad during its stretch of three losses in five games that preceded the current win streak.

“I can’t speak to the exact reason. I will say we have talked about that,” Self said. “I think there’s a great chance that contributed to us hitting a wall.

I don’t know if we hit a wall, but we hit a hill. We didn’t explode up the hill or move up the hill with probably the same intensity we had before hitting the hill. All teams will go through it. Hopefully we got ours out of the way and we’ll push forward playing our best ball and most energetic ball moving forward,” added Self, who said he plans on cutting the time of each practice to keep legs fresh.

better days in the near future.

“I’m really going to miss Kansas,” Kubiak said. “And I’m kind of jealous that I won’t be here for all of the good times that are ahead. I just really appreciate everything David has done for me personally and professionally. I had no intention of leaving. It just kind of came up and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go be with family. But it definitely wasn’t an easy thing to do.”

The Broncos announced Tuesday night that Kubiak, who attended Super Bowl 50 and was on the field celebrating with his father after the Broncos’ 24-10 victory over Carolina, will fill the offensive assistant job vacat-

ed by Brian Callahan, who was hired away by the Detroit Lions earlier this week. Callahan, the son of former Oakland Raiders and Nebraska Cornhuskers coach Bill Callahan, worked with Denver’s quarterbacks in 2015.

Kubiak becomes the fourth full-time assistant on Beaty’s first staff at KU to leave his position — joining Mitchell, linebackers coach Kevin Kane, who went to Northern Illinois to be the defensive coordinator and former special teams coach Gary Hyman, who was reassigned but is still on staff — and Beaty now will look to fill two full-time spots on his coaching staff with spring practice just a few weeks away.

KU WOMEN’S HOOPS PREVIEW When: 7 p.m. today Where: Allen Fieldhouse Who: TCU Series: Tied 4-4 Offense on the rise: After suffering through a mid-season slump in which they were held to fewer than 50 points in 10 consecutive games, the Jayhawks recently have shown signs of life on offense. KU has topped the half-century mark in two of its past three games, including a 67-point outing in last weekend’s loss at Kansas State. The point total was the most by Kansas since scoring 71 in a 15-point loss to St. John’s on Dec. 6 and tied for the team’s third highest output this season. “Well, we executed better, especially in the second half against a variety of zones,” first-year KU coach Brandon Schneider said.

The good with the bad: TCU enters tonight’s game ranked last in the Big 12 in scoring defense, giving up an average of 67

points per game to Big 12 foes. That should be good news for the Jayhawks and their improving offense.

But if KU can’t take care of things on the defensive end, it might not matter. TCU is shooting 39.1 percent from three-point land this season and will be facing a Kansas team that ranks last in the Big 12 in three-point defense.

Kansas and TCU rank ninth and 10th in the Big 12 in rebounding margin.

Kansas State extended a streak of six consecutive games in which KU has turned it over 20 times or more. The last time Kansas enjoyed a game with fewer than 20 give-aways came against K-State at home on Jan. 20, when the Wildcats forced KU to turn it over just 13 times in a K-State victory.

Firebird girls win, 58-45

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

Some victories aren’t as enjoyable as others.

Just ask Free State High’s girls basketball team, which only attempted two fourth-quarter field goals but defeated Shawnee Mission South, 58-45, Tuesday night.

The teams combined for 55 fouls and 76 freethrow attempts. The Firebirds went 18-for-24 at the foul line in the fourth quarter to win, but junior Madison Piper said the game lacked any sort of flow the majority of the second half.

“It was stop and go, stop and go. So it was hard to get that momentum,” Piper said after scoring 14 points and hitting all three of her free throws.

“I’m proud of the girls for sticking it out for the three-hour-long second half,” Piper joked. “It was really hard to keep a constant pace.”

The Raiders deserve credit for making FSHS (12-5), ranked No. 6 in Class 6A, uncomfortable.

Between the fouls and just hounding the Firebirds’ ball-handlers with full-court pressure, the home team wasn’t going to have a good time, even in a victory.

“I don’t know if we’ve really seen any pressure defense all year,” FSHS coach Bryan Duncan said after his team committed 18 turnovers, seven coming in the third quarter. “And we’ve got good ball-handlers, and good decision-makers.

We probably tried to put the ball on the floor a little too much, but part of that was (SMS) muddied it up.

down the stretch. He scored a game-high 24 points, along with 11 rebounds, three steals and two blocks.

“I put it on his plate today,” SM North coach Steve Stitzer said of Weathers. “I was like, ‘You have to have a good game today.’ He told me, ‘Don’t worry about it.’”

The Lions played faster than their usual pace, committing an uncharacteristic 16 turnovers.

After racing to an 11-4 lead in the first four minutes, including a twohanded slam by senior Fred Brou, the Indians responded with an 18-4 run over the next six minutes. With 6-3 athletic guard Michael Weathers on the bench because of foul trouble, Marcus Weathers took over with eight of his team’s final 10 points in the the first quarter.

After trailing by as many as 10 points in the second quarter, the Lions (15-2, 7-1 in the Sunflower League) traded leads and momentum swings until the final minutes of the fourth quarter.

Free State got its buffer in the first half, when senior Caiti Schlesener scored 10 of her 11 points and the Firebirds’ limited SMS to 5-for-23 shooting.

As the Raiders missed shots on one end of the floor, Free State produced enough in spurts throughout the first half to gradually build a 13-point lead at the break.

Sophomore Jaelyn Two Hearts drove into the middle of the lane to free Piper for a buzzerbeating layup to cap the second quarter.

Prior to that, Schlesener picked her spots to make assertive plays.

“She got us going,” Piper said of the 5-foot-4 guard. “She was able to make those good, smart plays to get to the rim or get fouled, and also had those great passes. It re-

first half. He dished a nolook assist to senior forward Price Morgan for a wide-open layup, scored on a layup and hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer before halftime.

The Lions took a brief lead in the third quarter before the Indians (13-4, 8-0) responded by scoring on their next four possessions, including layups from juniors Will Schneider and Avante Williams. The Lions tied the score at the end of the third quarter with a three-pointer from senior point guard Justin Roberts and two layups from junior Kobe Buffalomeat, but they couldn’t stop the Weathers brothers and the Indians from delivering go-ahead buckets.

“We just kind of got complacent with being the No. 1 team,” Morgan said. “We’ve been winning a bunch of games.

Things had been going our way and we kind of eased off the gas pedal. It’s tough and they exposed us. They are a great team and the Weather brothers, they can really make some plays.”

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Michael Weathers made a layup on the first possession.

ally got us energized.”

Free State sophomore point guard Cameryn Thomas produced a game-high 16 points, thanks to an 11-point fourth. She hit 12 of her 19 free throws in the win.

Said Duncan: “She’s been aggressive for quite a while, and that was great, because it would’ve been easy to get passive and quit attacking. And that is one thing we did not do.”

Morgan did his best to respond, scoring on a layup and taking a charge on defense. After SM North hit a three-pointer, Morgan followed up a missed three-pointer from Harvey with a tipslam, bringing the crowd to a roar. For his final act, Morgan swatted a shot defensively like it was a whack-a-mole.

“I don’t like to lose,” Morgan said. “I was just doing everything that I could to keep us in the game.”

But every time the Lions thought they had momentum on their side, the Indians stole it back and took the top spot in the league standings.

“We haven’t been in that situation for a while,” LHS coach Mike Lewis said. “That’s our fourth game we lost in two years. Our guys aren’t familiar with that feeling. I think that’s good for us to be in that situation and I think we’ll respond better the next time.”

Free State boys turn back SM South

By Benton Smith basmith@kusports.com

When Free State senior point guard Kristian Rawls examined the floor in front of him, most of Tuesday night he saw Shawnee Mission South in its half-court zone.

So Rawls knew what he needed to do. He and fellow senior Hunter Gudde spent most of the night waiting for gaps to appear. And when they did, the Firebirds pounced.

Rawls scored a gamehigh 19 points off drives to the paint and a pair of three-pointers, while also setting up his teammates for a fourth-quarter rally in Free State’s 53-47 home victory.

“Early on in the season we struggled with zone a lot, so we’ve been working on it a lot in practice,” Rawls said. “When we get into the paint, we can beat it.”

The Firebirds (12-4), ranked No. 9 in Class 6A, busted the zone with their

bench late in the game.

Down six points less than two minutes into the final period, backup senior forward Chrision Wilburn scored inside after retrieving a shot he had just got blocked. The next two FSHS baskets proved even bigger, as Rawls got into the teeth of the zone and substitute junior guard Shannon Cordes knocked down two threepointers in a span of a couple of minutes, giving his team the lead for good at 42-40 with 3:07 to play.

“It’s definitely impressive,” Rawls said of Cordes’ nine-point fourth, which also included a drive for a threepoint play in the final two minutes, “but we’re not surprised. We all have trust in Shannon. Our motto is strength in numbers. We just try to live up to that every game.”

Rawls drained a couple of free throws with 30 seconds to go (FSHS shot 9-for-12 at the line in the fourth) to go up

47-43. But the Firebirds’ lead had shrunk to two 10 seconds later, and Cordes missed a pair at the charity stripe.

That’s when junior Jay Dineen swooped in for an offensive rebound and hit two free throws, preventing SMS from tying the game or taking the lead.

“That’s what he’s in there to do,” Rawls said of Dineen, before describing the forward like the linebacker he is. “Just hustle and fly around. He always hustles. It was a huge play.”

First-year FSHS coach Sam Stroh agreed, and appreciated the way his players dug out of a sixpoint fourth-quarter hole, especially because his team came in on a twogame skid.

“I like the way we responded,” Stroh said.

“With a tough week last week, we easily could’ve said ‘This is not our week,’ or ‘We’re in a bad stretch.’ But I liked the way we responded, hit some big shots. The

bench was big to get us back in the game.”

Gudde scored 14 points in the win and single-handedly beat the SMS zone for four layups in the first quarter, as Free State built a 10-point lead. The Firebirds hit a bit of a lull in the third, but Rawls scored seven points in that quarter to keep his team within two entering the fourth.

“We were confident in ourselves,” Rawls said.

“We just have a hard schedule at the end of the season, so we needed to get this win at home.”

LAWRENCE HIGH FRESHMAN CHISOM AJEKWU (45) fights for the ball with Shawnee Mission North’s Katlyn Hughes (20) on Tuesday at LHS.

LHS girls handle SM North, 55-45

By Bobby Nightengale bnightengale@ljworld.com

Lawrence High girls basketball coach Jeff Dickson handed out Hot Tamales boxes to his players before Tuesday’s game against Shawnee Mission North.

Dickson wrote on the box “Unleash the beast.”

The message was nothing new. In fact, Dickson did the same thing for the Lions last year. Same trick.

Same outcome. The Lions rolled to a 55-45 victory in the Jungle.

After one bad stretch in the fourth quarter cost the Lions in a road loss at Olathe Northwest last week, the Lions were determined to make up for their mistakes. They opened the fourth quarter Tuesday with a 10-2 run for a 46-34 advantage.

LHS freshman center Chisom Ajekwu scored on two putbacks after a quiet first half. Freshman point guard Hannah Stewart and junior guard Oliva Lemus added threepointers.

“Chisom just knew we needed to fire it up,” Lemus said. “She got in (foul trouble) in the first half and she was getting a little frustrated. But we picked her up in the second half and she just took over like she needed to.”

Ajekwu controlled the paint in the second half, finishing with nine points, 12 rebounds and three blocks. She grabbed eight boards in the fourth quarter, forcing one-anddone SM North possessions on missed shots.

“I don’t think people understand how hard it is to play her position and how good she is at it,” sophomore E’lease Stafford said of Ajekwu.

INSIDE Braised Pork with Shallots Goat Cheese Crostini

Page 2 Page 2

JUST DESSERT?

No way — this tea cake is something altogether different

S

ince our local theater group went into rehearsals for “The Importance of Being Earnest,” I’ve heard a lot of talk about tea cups and tea carts and, most importantly, tea cake.

I thought it might be kinda cool to make a cake that was actually flavored with tea. I also decided to cover the whole thing in chocolate, because why not? This cake is an adaptation of several classic recipes.

Raspberry Tea Cake For the cake: 1 3/4 cups bread flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt

3 large eggs 1 1/3 cups sugar 1 cup milk 1 tablespoon butter 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 2 raspberry tea bags

For the glaze: 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips Directions: Dig out your bundt pan and slap a thick coat of butter on the inside. Dust it with flour and set it aside. Fire up your oven to 325 degrees and set up your stand mixer. Beat the eggs and sugar together until they’re super thick, which will feel like forever but should only take about five minutes.

Put the milk and butter in a saucepan and set it over me-

Bite Sighs

Audrey Lintner dium-high heat. Combine the flour, vanilla, baking powder, and salt in a bowl and put it aside. Work fast; you want to catch the milk before it comes to a full-on boil. Once you see bubbles around the edges of the milk, turn off the heat and throw in the tea bags.

While the tea is steeping, crank up the mixer and start shaking the flour into the eggs. Blend and scrape

until everything is reasonably homogenized. Go check the milk.

Squish the tea bags around until your milk turns a nice shade of zombie lavender.

Toss the tea bags and go back to your mixer. With the bowl whirling around on low speed, slowly pour the hot milk into your cake batter, which will deflate with a scary suddenness but smell really good.

Once the milk has just been incorporated (doesn’t that sound impressive?) into the batter, stop mixing and pour the whole mess into your prepared pan. Bake for 40 minutes or until your toothpick cake tester comes out clean.

While the cake cools, pour the heavy cream into another small saucepan and set it to boil. Dump the chocolate

chips into a bowl and pour the boiling cream over them.

Shimmy the bowl a bit to get good coverage. Slap a lid on it and wait for five minutes. Use the time to remove your cake from the pan and set it on a serving plate.

Stir the chocolate and cream until you have a bowl of glossy fudge sauce. You’ll want to stick your face into it, but pour it over the cake instead. Encourage the chocolate to ooze down the sides.

Serve with tea, of course.

For a lighter dessert, skip the glaze and offer slices with a dusting of powdered sugar, a glop of whipped cream, and a handful of raspberries.

Enjoy!

While these are very simple to make, they give off more than a slight air of elegance. Passing them to start off an awards party while someone pours some sparkling wine won’t actually transport you to the red carpet, but wouldn’t you rather be home eating crostini and sipping bubbly anyway?

Yeah, me, too.

Goat Cheese and Pear Crostini

Ingredients: 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature (very soft) 1/4 cup honey 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (or 1/3 teaspoon dried) 1 long baguette, sliced into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick slices (about 30) 2 ripe pears, quartered, cored and thinly sliced lengthwise 1/2 cup crumbled fresh goat cheese 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, honey, salt and thyme. Spread a bit of the butter mixture over each slice of baguette, then arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.

It’s fine if they touch, but they should not overlap. Use 2 baking sheets if needed. Bake for 5 to 8 minutes, or until the edges of the bread are lightly browned.

Remember that they will harden as they cool, so take them out before they get too crisp.

Cranberry Capsules Reduce Risk of Urinary Tract Infections People living in long-term care facilities are at risk of developing urinary tract infections (UTIs). In fact, about a quarter of all bacterial infections diagnosed at such facilities are UTIs. The infection can be bad enough by itself, but it can also lead to serious complications, such as dehydration, delirium, and even death.

However, taking cranberry capsules daily can significantly reduce the risk of UTIs, according to a study by Dutch researchers.

Monique A.A. Caljouw, MSc, and her colleagues at the Leiden University Medical Center, provided either cranberry capsules or placebos to 928 people at long-term care facilities. The majority of the subjects were elderly women.

People were instructed to take two capsules daily. Each cranberry capsule contains 500 mg of cranberry, yielding 1.8 percent (9 mg) of proanthocyanidins.

People who were at high risk of developing UTIs had a 26 percent reduction in risk by the end of the study. Meanwhile, people who were at a low risk of UTIs experienced no benefits from the cranberry capsules.

Effectiveness of cranberry capsules to prevention urinary tract infections in vulnerable older persons: a double-blind randomized placebo controlled trial in long-term care facilities.

Vitamin D Has Benefits in Heart Failure Abnormalities in the body’s regulation of aldosterone, a hormone, can contribute to heart failure. By lowering the activity of aldosterone and related activities, it is possible to reduce salt and water retention and the thickening of the heart’s walls. In a study conducted at the University of Colorado Medical Center and other centers, doctors asked 64 people to take either 50,000 IU of vitamin D or placebos each week for six months—aldosterone levels decreased in the vitamin D group. The researchers concluded that “vitamin D may be an important adjunct to standard heart failure therapy.”
